If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Marc Zyngier commit 501ad27c67ed0b90df465f23d33e9aed64058a47 upstream. We like living dangerously. Nothing explicitely forbids stack-protector to be used in the HYP code, while distributions routinely compile their kernel with it. We're just lucky that no code actually triggers the instrumentation. Let's not try our luck for much longer, and disable stack-protector for code living at HYP.
